I went back to the Philippines after 12 years. A lot has changed, mainly the population growth in Manila. However, some things seem to remain largely the same and are very much a staple in Filipino culture, like the jitneys and tricycles.<\/p>\n

I wanted to convey a variation in perspective. The following examples convey 3 different types of experiences:<\/p>\n

1) A general perspective as a traveler in a land that is both strangely familiar, yet entirely foreign to me in many ways.<\/p>\n

2) A rather microscopic perspective that comes when you (literally) bend down to notice the details.<\/p>\n

3) An intimate perspective – the one with family, behind closed doors.<\/p>\n

How much of any of these are similar or different? And to what degree is their familiarity or foreign-ness altered had I experienced them somewhere else in the world?<\/p>\n
